The Black Eagle,articles and pics

I read that the are designing this not for their own use but for the South Koreans. That was here:

Jason I read some more articles that state that Putin whats to produce this for the Russian military.If true there will be some slight changes made like a 152 MM gun put on it,also the crew does not sit in the turret but with the driver in a crew compartment.This allows them to add more armor on top.Some other articles like from Jane's defence said that sevaerl test on it armor was made,one which was a Javilin missle,was shot at the top.This report said the missle could not go throught the armor.If this is true,this makes this tank one hard beast to kill.Digger

well it sounds cool but what do you make of this quote:

"The bustle-mounted ammunition system also allows the Black Eagle to incorporate blowout panels for ammunition storage. If a hit indicates an ammunition explosion, the vehicle is not destroyed. Instead, all ammunition is destroyed, and the commander and loader take 50 concussion hits each."

sounds like something from a PC game??

i'm confused

digger- wow, that's impressive
nmayhew- Russian Tank Drivers have 55 hit points while the level 2 commander has 60. Seriously, I have no idea what that means.

thanks for the links digger!
